This is the portfolio page I have been working on for myself in the past month’s. This is my first full site I’ve ever created in Flash, so it took me some time. It’s not quite finished, none of my work is actually up right now, there is only place holder text and images currently. I would really appreciate some of your comments to help me improve it. 🍺 [http://web.syr.edu/~bmbilfie/testpage/alphaBG.html](http://web.syr.edu/%7Ebmbilfie/testpage/alphaBG.html) ---

i had no idea how the hell to navigate!, i figured it out but kinda hard! one main thing u need to keep in mind when making a website is to make it easy to navigate ---

Any specifics to why it was so hard to navigate? There are links on the bottom of the page you can use to navigate. Or do they just not stand out enough when you goto the page? edit: To give you a little insight to what I was doing when creating the page. Initially the navigation was set up so that you click and move the squares into specific hit areas placed around the screen to load up the different parts of the page. That is still available to the user, but I realized, like you mentioned, it was vague in terms of figuring out how to nagivate. So I added the links at the bottom to automate the movement of the boxes to load the pages. ---

no problem, here is a suggestion, make the menu different font or color and try to make the words of the menu all same size ---

That would definately make sense. I’ll play around with the menu to see what works. ---
